ED Launches Civil Rights Investigation Into Stanford
""It is unconscionable that an institution which claims to be a pinnacle of educational excellence would deny opportunities based on race. If the allegations are true, Stanford is engaged in discrimination-pure and simple," said Kimberly Richey, the department's assistant secretary for civil rights."
The Department of Education has initiated a civil rights investigation into Stanford University regarding allegations that access to its National Board Resource Center is determined by skin color rather than merit. This program is designed to assist aspiring teachers in achieving top certification levels. The department contends that such practices violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in federally funded programs.
